The seller beautysecret12 is moving, and so has decided to take 20% off all her stock, including MAC. She is also offering free postage for any order over $80, and she can offer you combined shipping. Many of the prices … Continue reading →

These are the brands everyone is talking about, and in a crowded cosmetic marketplace that’s not an easy thing to do. But for people living outside the US, how on earth do you sample these new delights? Beaute Cosmetics: The … Continue reading →

I’m on my second pot of Peter Thomas Roth Unwrinkle Peel Pads, and I still love them. I know that you’ve probably read many glowing reviews about this exfoliant, and they are well deserved. You feel a tingling sensation when … Continue reading →

This is the most smudge-resistant pencil liner I’ve come across. I have a big problem with mascara and eyeliner that transfer, so I use many waterproof products. Not only is this super easy to apply, doesn’t need sharpening, and makes … Continue reading →
